Chronic stress can result in various conditions, including psychological disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and accelerated brain aging. Gut dysbiosis potentially contributes to stress-related brain disorders in individuals with chronic stress. However, the causal relationship and key factors between gut dysbiosis and brain disorders in chronic stress remain elusive, particularly under non-sterile conditions.

The long-term mining of vanadium-titanium (V-Ti) magnetite has generated a large accumulation of tailings, which can lead to metal pollution via microbial bioleaching. Current research has focused on the bioleaching of minerals, and a few studies have explored microbial responses to metals only through limited metabolite concentrations. However, the trigger mechanisms of metal release during the V-Ti magnetite tailing bioleaching and key gene regulatory pathways for organic acid metabolism are still unclear.

Background: Maternal colonization with Group B Streptococcus (GBS) disrupts the vaginal microbiota, potentially affecting infant microbiota assembly and growth. While the gut microbiota's importance in infant growth is recognized, the specific effects of maternal GBS on growth remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the effects of maternal vaginal GBS during pregnancy on early infant growth, microbiome, and metabolomics.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how to effectively assess muscle involvement in children with Becker muscular dystrophy using quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI).
  • It compares different qMRI parameters (fat fraction, T1, and T2) between affected children and healthy controls, finding that fat fraction in the gluteus maximus is the most effective marker.
  • The results suggest that measuring fat fraction can predict functional decline in these children, making it a valuable biomarker for monitoring disease progression.
